Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Highfalls, NC.

Addiction rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
